I'm starting to think that Beal may not be a superstar

Luckily we will give big bucks to Porzingis and Kuzma to help him out. Play/in here we come.

well, maybe it really is the coaching?

So much for the nets winning one

Sixers first to advance. Need the big guy back to compete with Boston.

embiid going to get as much rest as he needs.

Lebron should get an academy award nomination for his reaction to that groin shot. Another good evening from Rui.

Would be nice if the Hawks could win a couple more games but not counting on it.

Memories of 2008

The Butler did it.

The Butler did it.

can he be called underrated? They would have been blown out in the 1st q but for his 22 out of 28 points

Bucks have a bunch of plus defenders and could not stop him. Imagine the Sixers picked keeping Simmons over him.

Funny thing is, I was hoping for a Bucks / Celtics rematch just to play them with Middleton. I think it was Barkley who was saying the Celtics should not want to play the Heat. Turns out he may have been right about the Heat, just wrong about which team.

Butler was always a target for Ainge when he was with Chicago but Ainge never put together the right deal, even with all the pick ammunition.

Refs doing their best to keep Atlanta alive.

I'm trying to remember the last time Young missed a 25+ footer.

LOL.
What a shot by Trae Young. Celtics fell apart like the Bucks did last night. Turnovers killed them. Not the refs. We’ll still 1.8 to go.

14-33 overall but 5-13 on threes and he was on fire late. He just keeps shooting no matter how many he misses.

A ridiculous tech put them in a position to go ahead followed by a missed call when smart got leveled

Smart was not really set when he set that screen. Could easily have gone against him. Not sure about the technical. I mean Smart fouls on defense literally every possession because he knows they won’t call them all. Boston blew a lead. Turned the ball over too much and ended up at the end with their big guys on Young.

I need more TVs. Both the later games are tight.

Could not stay awake for the Phoenix and Clippers game but looked like a good one. Russ with a 3/16 night.

HalfSmokes · « **Reply #146:** April 26, 2023, 08:35:21 AM »

It will be interesting to see where Russ lands. It looks like he's still good enough to put up stats if he has the ball in his hand, but no good team would want that, really bad teams won't want the wins, and teams like the Magic or Rockets trying to transition from tanking to winning probably won't want him taking away touches from their young cores. I'm not sure where that leaves him- maybe back to the Wizards?

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #147:** April 26, 2023, 12:56:38 PM »

Ted got butt hurt too much when he left. LOL. They were saying the Clippers but they can’t pay him much. With their stats always hurt they need another guy.

Denver and Phoenix should be a really good series.

Hoping the hawks can take the Celtics to seven games. Think the Celtics and Sixers series might decide the title.

HalfSmokes · « **Reply #148:** April 26, 2023, 02:04:53 PM »

The Clippers are the most f#$k franchise in the NBA. The don't have a first round pick until 2027, so tanking will do nothing. Their two stars are two of the least reliable players in any sport, and the really don't have much of a team besides those two guys.

Which my love of Philly, I want the Celts to finish off the Hawks while Embid still has a bumb knee
